Everyone loves a river view, like the one from this two-bedroom, two-bath at Battery Park City’s ecofriendly Visionaire condo. But how about water on all sides? Willo-Isle, a one-acre patch of land in the middle of a private body of water called Putnam Lake, holds a four-bedroom prewar stone house and a guest cottage and is reachable only by a five-minute boat ride, says broker John Mehigan of Gumley Haft Kleier. So in addition to maintaining a car, you’ll need a skiff—but at least it will be convenient. There’s a two-car garage onshore, right by the dock.
